Chapter one: strange beginnings
I smiled softly into the candle light. Even if reality was going to be taken away soon, I still loved it here with him. I shook myself and began to write out my story.It all started on the day my friend Haru and I found the little golden ball in the grass. When we opened it, it had-
"What kind of ring is that? It's fake!" Haru exclaimed with annoyance.
I grabbed the plastic ring with a grin. "It's probably a magic ring that transports people into other dimensions and that means-"
"Give it up Tsuki. Yu-Gi-Oh will never be real and you'll never meet any of the characters by some strange chance." Haru said with a roll of her eyes.
I sighed. "I know, but I really wish YGO was real." I glared at her. "Why'd you have to ruin the fantasy?!"
She grinned. "Oh, you know I just totally love to mess with your head."
I looked up in alarm as the door opened. Melanie. She smiled at me, bowed and exited the room. I sighed in relief. I had thought it was going to be Rishid. I allowed my glance to stray to the sleeping Malik beside me. On his face was a slight smile, his face revealing no other emotion. I smiled and began to write again, skipping to the next day.
I woke up with an intense headache to the sound of my alarm at 5:30. My head was throbbing madly, my whole body was stiff. I did my business in the bathroom and took a shower. I put on a bathrobe and began to brush my teeth when suddenly there was a knock on my bedroom door. I fell out of the bathroom, surprised that my mother was already awake. Normally she was still asleep when I left for school. But no, it was a voice unlike my mother's; it was a guy's who called out.
"Hurry up or you'll be late!" He yelled, sounding oddly familiar.
I opened the door and there was Yugi, fully dressed in uniform, looking impatient. He blushed and turned around, saying, "school starts in thirty minutes."
I looked down at myself, toothbrush still in my mouth, and blushed as well. My robe had undone itself on the chest part, revealing my bra. I quickly covered myself and registered the fact that it was Yugi who was walking away from me.
"H-h-h-hey wait! What's going on here?! Who put you up to the cosplay?!" I yelled after him.
He turned around, looking confused. "Cospl- oh, the dressing up as anime characters. What're you talking about? You've been living with me for two years, you feeling okay?"
I blinked. "What? I've lived with my mother as an only child for all my life, you're a TV show!"
That confused him even more. "Wha-? Oh...I get it..." He laughed nervously. "It's another one of your jokes. April fools was yesterday Tsuki. Hurry up and get dressed!" He turned and disappeared into another room.
I blinked hard, thinking that each time I opened my eyes I would wake up to be in my house, staring into a dark hallway. I turned to look in the mirror and I swear another girl was looking back at me.
She was tall and skinny with dark blue eyes and straight black hair that slightly curled near the waist. No way could her waistline be mine, it was much too small. Not to mention her chest size. My 144 pounds would have never fit into this body! Her complexion was smooth and slightly tanned compared to my pale, easily sunburned and slightly pimpled skin.
I blinked, she blinked. I waved a hand, she waved a hand. I shook my head, she did the same. We were both the same person.
Realizing that toothpaste was about to go down my throat from my surprised gasps, I quickly went to the sink and spat it out and rinsed. I went through my wardrobe to find clothes that were either tight-fitted or overly loose. I put on a black tank top and baggy jeans.
I fingered my silver necklace that had the eye of Horus as a pendant. I checked a little blue box that had red velvet lining to find a single ring in it. It was also silver and a winged Isis was engraved into the turquoise stone.
As soon as I touched it there was a loud bang and suddenly there was a woman dressed in all white standing in front of me. "Hello!" She said happily, her face showing a mix of bubbling joy and mild curiosity.
I rubbed my head, trying to focus. This girl was my two enemies and worst nightmares combined: a mix between Botan and Anzu.
"I am Jenie, and I grant wishes for the price of true love." She said brightly.
I stared at her stupidly. "What do you mean, 'for the price of true love'?"
Jenie grinned. "It means you and your true love have to find each other at the expense I test your love to see if it is true. Then the price is paid. But, don't be fooled, even if you don't find true love, you have to fall in love with someone and if you annoy me, it won't be someone you like."
I stared at her. "Me? Fall in love? As if! I'm only 13!"
Jenie snorted. "Not in this time. You're 16 and are in the middle of tenth grade. Besides, ever heard of Romeo and Juliet? They found true love and Juliet was 13 going on 14."
"Whatever, they both died in the end, who'd want to love after hearing that story. And I start my freshman as soon as the summer is over! I just got out of eighth grade. Besides, what am I doing here? Where's my mom?"
She smiled. "You really are clueless huh? Your mother doesn't exist in this realm. You're an orphan that used to live in her own apartment building and worked in a fast food joint and had dropped out of school at the age of 13. Your debt in bills were paid off by you winning a duel monsters game and you went back to school when you were 14. Your friend Yugi over there found out about it and his Ojii-san decided you should live with them. It was better than you using up the money and later going to have to drop out again so you can work off more bills. Thus that ends you here."
I blinked. The candle light had gone out. What perfect timing, I only have a few hours left before she casts the spell! Great, now what do I do?! I realized then that I still had the bundle of matches Melanie had given me in the drawer. After about five minutes of searching I found it. I quickly lit the candle and began again, pausing only to glance at the door, the clock and at Malik. This was going to take a while....
I rubbed an eye from annoyance. "I never did any of that stuff and-" Suddenly there was a loud buzzing noise. I fell to the ground, clutching my head, trying to shut it out. I blacked out and when I woke, my head was throbbing madly.
"Are you okay? Ojii-san said if you're not feeling well you can take the day off from school." Yugi said anxiously. I shook my head and slowly got to my feet.
"I'm fine Yugi. I can't miss any more school, I already have four infractions." I said calmly. My memory was back. I guess I had had a bad dream and it messed with my brain. Jenie. Whatever. What a weird dream, thinking that Yugi had been in a TV show.
I pulled on my uniform quickly. What had I been thinking, wearing casual clothes to school?! Where was my head today? I grabbed my suitcase and we rushed off to school. I did poorly in my first class, English, which had always been my favorite subject. The words they used made no sense to me. Whoever heard of an eighth grade graduate knowing about words such as 'flout', 'interferometer' and 'risqué?'
Wait a second. Did I just think of myself as a freshman? I shook my head. I must be loosing it. My next class was Sex Ed which scared me and scarred my mind. I wasn't prepared for things like that, especially since I learned bigger words such as fornication. I shuddered and hoped that my next class was going to be easy.
Yugi showed me to the Science class where Jonouchi, Honda and Anzu were already. As soon as I saw Anzu, sharp, painful memories threw themselves into my line of vision. A memory of talking to Haru on the phone about hating her for annoying attitude went first. Followed by a snide comment Anzu had given me when I first met her. My rival from the start. Other memories shot about, making me loose focus.
The next thing I knew, I was on the floor with everyone bending over me and Yugi yelling for the nurse. I took a shuddering breath and slowly stood. I shakily walked over to a chair and sat on it, watching everyone's scared faces closely.
"What happened?" I finally asked.
"You were standing one moment, looking confused, then the next you're on the ground twitching and screaming for something to stop." Jonouchi replied in a would-be calm voice.
"Hey, you shouldn't try to get up; you may have a concussion. You hit your head pretty hard." Honda said gently.
I slowly stood again, relying heavily on Honda's strength to keep me up. "No, I just need water. It's on my way to my next class so I'll be fine." I said huskily. My throat was really dry.
"Here, I'll walk you there." Honda said, putting my arm around his neck and slinging an arm around my waist.
I glared at nothing in particular. "My ankle is broken or anything. I just need a crutch." I said. Not to mention I felt uncomfortable for a guy to have an arm around my waist. It felt....just wrong. Honda laughed and started towards the door. I sighed. This was going to be a long day.
